Chapter 1308:

Nature, in its cruel irony, had crafted a perfect morning.

Laney sat motionless, lost in the fog of heartache, before summoning the strength to rise on unsteady legs. Seeking clarity in cold water, she made her way to the bathroom, only to have her attention caught by an unfamiliar document on the table.

A flicker of curiosity pierced through her numbness, wondering if this was among Cliff’s final offerings from the night before.

The racetrack’s logo emblazoned on the envelope sent a jolt of confusion through Laney as she carefully opened it.

Inside was a racing inspection report, its contents heavy with implications.

The stark black text revealed a chilling truth—Merrick’s original car malfunction had been no accident. Someone had deliberately sabotaged his brakes, ensuring catastrophe on the track.

The report slipped from Laney’s trembling fingers, hitting the floor with the weight of its revelation. In that moment of shock, the doorbell’s sudden chime shattered the morning stillness.
